I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 703
Seeing that Yingzhou City was already in front of him, Song Mu got off the carriage and walked forward. He met some farmers along the way and asked a few questions aloud.

Those common people saw that he was a tall and elegant middle-aged man, and knew that he was a scholar, so they naturally opened their mouths to drink a few words. Song Mu also knew something about this Yingzhou.

The land of Yingzhou here is located in the south of Huainan Road, which originally evolved from the land of Jingzhou, but Jingzhou is still there in the Wen Dynasty, and Yingzhou is only a state beside it.

Among them, there is another intriguing place called Huangzhou.

This is where Chibi is located, and it is well-known.

Song Mu also wanted to visit this time, to see what this ancient and modern place is like.

"We in Yingzhou have had good weather and rain all these years, and this year we have another bumper harvest, and it's also a bumper year!"

"It's just that the weather is not good these few days. If there is autumn rain at night, it will be a big trouble."

Song Mu exchanged a few words with several farmers in the field, and their faces were mixed with joy and sorrow. Song Mu nodded when he heard it. Looking at the weather with white clouds floating this time, returning the grains to the warehouse is the most important thing when the harvest is abundant. Heavy.

However, Song Mu didn't say anything at the moment, but continued to drive the carriage forward, while Gu Qingqing and Song Yiqing discussed what they had brought to Song Huaitong.

Along the way, the two sides also exchanged letters. Song Huaitong seemed to be very busy, but his wife Fang Yan'er seemed to be interested in Song Mu and others' arrival. However, Song Mu's family made a return trip in Zhongzhou, which made the other party unable to prepare for the reception.

And now Song Mu's family also arrived under the city, and this majestic city stood tall, Song Mu also nodded slightly.

Song Mu also thought that this place is not far from Xiangyang, so he sighed slightly at the moment, and planned to go there to clean the master's tomb someday.

Seeing Song Mu sighing, Gu Qingqing asked this time.

"What did your husband think of?"

Song Mu glanced at the other party, but at the moment he just shook his head slightly and said softly.

"Nothing, just thinking about something else, this place is not far from Xiangyang."

Gu Qingqing paused slightly when she heard this, and immediately reached out to hold Song Mu's hand, and said softly.

"After seeing Huai Pass, let's go there. I haven't paid homage to Master for many years."

Song Mu nodded, and immediately cleared away these emotions, and immediately asked the mother and daughter to fix their makeup and prepare to meet Song Huaitong.

On the way, he asked about the location of the Tixue residence, and Song Mu also drove there.

Soon Song Mu arrived in front of the school, just to show his identity, and a woman came out to greet her immediately with her servants.

"Yan'er didn't know that her parents would come here today, but she couldn't meet her from afar. Please forgive me."

Song Mu saw that strange beautiful woman, and now knew that she was Song Huaitong's wife Fang Yan'er, so he just waved his hands and calmed down, Gu Qing had already walked up early in the morning, and this time he was holding her hand and talking, Song Yiqing didn't like this The brother and sister-in-law seem to be very familiar with each other, and this time they are also talking.

Song Mu hurriedly sent the carriage and the gifts inside to the house, but at this moment Gu Qingqing suddenly heard something loudly.

"Why didn't Huaitong tell me about this matter? It takes so much effort to study."

Song Mu also stepped forward when he heard it, so he knew about Song Huaitong's recent situation.

The other party had only filled in the vacancy a few months ago and was promoted to this Yingzhou tutoring school. Logically speaking, he was already the head of one party. However, it happened to coincide with the autumn rural examination, but he encountered demons and chaos in the Qinling Mountains.

"Yes, mother, not only that, these days coincide with the autumn harvest, and it is said that there will be heavy rain in this city. In the past few days, officials have come to ask questions, but in the past few months, my husband has lost a little weight."

Hearing this, Gu Qingqing was even more distressed, and immediately wanted to find Song Huaitong, Fang Yan'er urged the servants to report to Song Huaitong, and arranged for several people to drink tea in the courtyard.

Song Mu was sitting in it drinking tea at the moment, looking around, Fang Yan'er and other servants were carefully serving them, all of them were very cautious.

Maybe he already knew the identity of Song Mu University scholar. After all, there may be no one in Yingzhou. He is a big figure looked up to in the Wen dynasty. Naturally, he is cautious, for fear of making Song Mu feel uncomfortable.

Song Mu was peaceful, and let everyone go off to do their own business. They just drank tea in the courtyard and waited for Song Huaitong to return.

Soon Song Huaitong rushed over.

Song Huaitong, who is as tall as Song Mu, looks a little thin today, and his skin has become dark. A red official robe looks a bit out of place on him, and there are even mud spots on his trouser legs. If he takes off this official robe , a bit like an old farmer in the field.

At this moment, Song Huaitong saw Song Mu and hurried forward to cup his hands.

"Father, you have come from a long way. I am sorry for not being able to greet you. It is a disrespectful etiquette."

Song Mu got up immediately, walked up to help the other party, looked at him carefully, but sighed slightly, and said with some emotion.

"Huaitong, I haven't seen you for many years, but now I am a little surprised by my father. It's just that you are in such a situation, it makes people feel that you are not a student."

Hearing Song Mu's words, Song Huaitong's face flushed slightly, and he cupped his hands at Song Mu again, and said slowly.

"My son can't care about such superficial matters now. The matter in Yingzhou is already giving me a headache."

Saying this, Gu Qingqing also came out of the house, seeing her son like this, she was distressed at the moment, but Song Huaitong had a smile on his face when the family was reunited.

Gu Qingqing was going to make dinner for Song Huaitong, Fang Yan'er hurriedly followed, Song Yiqing was talking to his elder brother, Song Mu sat down, poured tea with him, and then asked.

"Huaitong, what happened in Yingzhou now, and Zhizhou can't settle it?"

Song Huaitong took the tea with both hands, and said while looking at Song Mu.

"Father, there are several major events happening this time. After the provincial examination, the examination papers and the announcement of the results need to be supervised. It also coincides with a year of beast tide, and the monsters in the Qinling Mountains are shaking. Besides, the autumn rain is about to come, and It is estimated that there will be a catastrophe, and the Zhizhou asked me to Zhang Luona to drive the rain."

"My predecessor, Mr. Huang, was so overworked that he became ill and returned home to recuperate."

Song Huaitong said this with a bit of helplessness on his face, but he was also bowing his hands to Song Mu at the moment.

"However, the son has no complaints. He seeks to govern in his position. Now that the son is promoting the position of education, he cannot refuse."

"It's just that things like this are much more difficult than when I was a water transport officer."

Song Mu's expression was calm when he heard this, he nodded slightly at that moment, looked at the other party and said again.

"What's going on with this beast tide?"

"This seems to be a common occurrence in Huainan Road. As the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the monsters in the mountains will be rampant and often attack human cities."

"This year, there seems to be water demons involved, which made the animal swarm even worse. It has already hit several counties and counties. My Ying state is far away, and the impact is still great."

"In the past few days, there have been discussions, saying that we will hold another literary conference to drive away demons and pray for blessings."

Song Huaitong said so, but at this moment his eyes lit up, looking at Song Mu, grinning slightly at this moment, and then said with a smile.

"Father's visit this time is just in time. Yingzhou is now in the midst of a flourishing style of study. Why don't father also be invited to participate in this essay meeting? I think it will have a miraculous effect."

Song Mu also smiled slightly, seeing Huai Tong's mentally exhausted appearance, nodded slowly.
